The protection of copyrights in the music industry has been of paramount concern as the popularity of digital music players,
personal websites, and file-sharing continues to grow, each of which subsequently contributes to the persistence of Internet
music piracy. While the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) links file-sharing to copyright piracy, others argue
that file-sharing allows maximum exposure of artists’ music which in turn increases its value. While this debate continues,
little empirical research has specifically addressed the behavioral aspects of the consumer. In this paper, we use survey
data on university students to study how attitudes toward copyright law along with economic and demographic factors affect
the extent of music copyright violations. We find that while students are responsive to economic incentives and perceptions
of risk, the extent of these incentives has not reversed the overall propensity to engage in file-sharing.

Copyright piracy on the university campus: Trends and lessons from the software and music industries
Abstract In a 1996–7 survey of students at three public universities and one private liberal arts college, Chiang and Assane (2002) found that 53 per cent of the sample admitted to software piracy. Though this is a staggering percentage, over the past five years the public focus on copyright piracy among young technology savvy users, particularly university students, has shifted from software to music piracy via file sharing and CD reproduction. This paper studies the characteristics of these industries along with recent technological advances affecting them. We analyze how economic incentives to reduce piracy on the university campus have been successful for the software indus‐ try, and how the lack of such incentives in the music industry has caused a larger piracy issue today. Based on these findings, we discuss possible solutions to reducing music piracy on the university campus. 相似文献
